Questions & Answers about Czy pożyczysz mi swoją ładowarkę i słownik na weekend?
Why do we use swoją here instead of twoją for 'your'?
Both are understood, but swoją (the reflexive possessive pronoun) is the standard and most natural choice here. We use forms of swój when the owner of the object is also the subject of the sentence. Since 'you' are the subject doing the lending, and it is 'your' charger, swoją is the perfect fit.
Swoją is feminine to match ładowarkę (charger). Does it also apply to słownik (dictionary), which is masculine?
Yes, it applies to both in meaning! Grammatically, the pronoun only has to agree with the first noun right next to it (ładowarkę). If you wanted to be extremely precise, you could say swoją ładowarkę i swój słownik, but dropping the second pronoun is much more natural in everyday speech.
Why are we using the Accusative case for the charger and dictionary here?
They are the direct objects of the action — the things being lent. The feminine noun ładowarka changes to ładowarkę, and its matching pronoun changes to swoją. The masculine inanimate noun słownik also takes the Accusative case here, but for this gender category, the Accusative form looks exactly the same as the basic Nominative form.
